Boulder County Residents Love Their Government

The Boulder County Commissioners have released survey results showing most people really have a great time dealing with County government. Nearly 80 percent of those who visited county offices ranked their experience as “excellent” or “good.” 76 percent ranked their experience with the web site as excellent or good, and nearly 70 percent ranked their telephone contact as excellent or good.

Interestingly, 2% said the County services were poor, while 0% (that's right, zero) rated Boulder County's Quality of Life as poor. So even for the few people the County doesn't please, they're not changing their positive impression of living here.

The 2006 Community Survey was mailed to 4,000 randomly selected households representing each of the county's primary sub-regions: City of Boulder, East County (Erie, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior), Longmont, Niwot and unincorporated Boulder County. See the full survey results here.

Has this been your experience? Let me know if this survey matches your opinions.

The grumpiest people I have ever had to interact with worked at the County's elections office. Terrible customer service. If I never have to go back it will be too soon. No other problems, but I don't think their website is particularly astute. I'd like see broader access to public documents pertaining to land use matters in particular.
